Universal Orlando Resort is ramping up excitement for its latest roller coaster offering, promising to propel visitors through the cosmos at the blistering speed of 62 mph in the aptly named Stardust Racers. According to ClickOrlando, this celestial journey will soar to heights of 133 feet along a track stretching 5,000 feet, making it a titan among Universal's coaster creations. Settled in the Celestial Park area of the upcoming Epic Universe, the attraction touts features like the innovative 'Celestial Spin', a maneuver where one train will vault over another in a gravity-defying dance.
Stardust Racers is just one of the stars in the expansive universe Universal is constructing, which includes additional family-friendly coasters like Hiccup’s Wing Gliders and Curse of the Werewolf each weaving its own narrative into the park's fabric, with the former reaching speeds of 45 mph and the latter dialing it down slightly to a still-exciting 37 mph, Universal has set the height requirement for these rides at kid-friendly 40 inches, ensuring a broader audience can clasp their hands around a piece of the thrill.
Courtesy of aerial views provided by Chopper 2 earlier this year, the Stardust Racers, previously dubbed Starfall Racers before a nimble pivot due to trademark concerns, have been seen undergoing vigorous testing. Now, Universal plans to release a full behind-the-scenes video this Friday as reported by WESH.
